Day: January 8, 2018

I started this blog May 2017 and with that came my obsession with requesting books on Netgalley. At first, I wasn’t sure I would get approved for a lot of books since I was a newbie. Almost every day, I was on Netgalley browsing and requesting for books I thought I would enjoy reading. I knew I wouldn’t be approved right away for a lot of the books I wanted, but to my surprise, I actually did. I mean there were still plenty of declines, but I got approved for more books than I had expected. I tried to keep up with my Netgalley TBR, but by the end of 2017, I had 32 on my list with 28 of them being there for more than 3 months. Shame on me!

This year, one of my main bookish resolution is to tackle as many books as I can on my Netgalley TBR. I’ll update you on my progress every month and hopefully by mid-2018, I can get through all the books I requested in 2017. I’m also planning on putting a strict limitation for myself. This is going to be really difficult, but for every 3 books I finish, I’m only allowed to request 1 book.

Anyway, here’s a list of all the Netgalley Books I have yet to read.

The Booke of Whispers by Kimberley Starr (Started this one, but I couldn’t get into it. Probably read 2 chapters only)

Odd and True by Cat Winters (I actually started this one too and it seemed really interesting, but after several chapters I lost interest).

Have you read any of these books? What did you think? Let me know in the comments.

So I started off with the plan to read 100 books and was going pretty strong in the beginning. However, the last 3 months of 2017 was really hectic for me and I was so busy that I had to change my reading challenge to 80 books. While I didn’t get to read as much in December, I ended up finishing 85 books in 2017. That’s 3 more books than last year so Yay!!!
